Happy Thanksgiving!!!

In general, Thanksgiving isn't celebrated here in the Dominican Republic (since it's an American holiday and all), but we usually find a way to celebrate it somehow. In the past, our mail service has always paid for us to get turkeys and fixings and all that good stuff (as turkeys are VERY expensive here). This year we were unable to have turkey, but we DID have some great chicken, rice, and beans!! (For those of you who don't know, that is the staple meal here in the DR.) We got together out at Rod & Twila's house with the whole TEARS staff and ate the whole afternoon and evening away. I learned how to play a great new game called Farkle, and now I'm addicted!! Below is a picture of Mia Grace hanging out with her "Aunt" Tracy and eating (or gnawing on) an oatmeal cookie.
